[00:23.030] Life is tough...
[00:23.030] Life is tough, but in the past life was rougher
[00:25.179] If you ask me in 10 years from now people suffer.
[00:27.896] But from our current perspective, they would have it pretty good.
[00:30.931] Like the people from the suburbs never troubled from the hood.
[00:33.640] But the people in the suburbs got their own set of troubles.
[00:36.292] Plus the wealthy and celebrities can definitely struggle
[00:39.291] So does poorer make you more inclined to draw a greater sympathy
[00:42.256] Or being a minority deserves the others empathy
[00:44.975] Cause mentally we’re all ready to choose a certain side
[00:47.715] Cause suffering’s a game we all play until we die
[00:50.780] And the more points we can make is how much worse we claim to have it.
[00:53.571] And that drowning in our sorrows is a standard form of habit
[00:56.316] Give it up now.
[00:57.435] We get it man you have it tough now.
[00:59.197] But everybody has a struggle, everywhere’s a tough town.
[01:02.112] And it’s a sliding scale from inconvenient to severe
[01:04.781] And some places are more dangerous, where people live in fear.
[01:07.516] Where there’s power, there’s corruption. Where there’s money, there is greed.
[01:10.342] Where there’s lies, there lies prejudice and where the hatred breeds
[01:13.201] And if you take it to the streets, you’ll notice violence succeeds
[01:15.973] In only bringing more violence and ringing in deceased.
[01:18.809] It’s disease and it’s seething through the people who got a short fuse.
[01:22.136] And when you win the war on drugs you know that more lose.
[01:25.005] And when you loan to college students you enslave them.
[01:27.570] And they wonder why frustration plagues their brain - It’s cause we made them.
[01:30.501] And that’s a statement when your presidential hopeful.
[01:33.085] Only preys on fear and floats in loads of hatred by the boatful
[01:36.417] Ain’t no wall tall enough to block the ignorance and lazy
[01:38.696] Of the people that are already here. I’m convinced they’re crazy.
[01:41.520] So what you’re saying is “Flowny, this world is prone to go
[01:44.478] If we don’t kill each other this Earth is ready to overflow”
[01:47.171] “Intolerance and greed are competing for us to overthrow
[01:50.147] This fantasy of ‘Reason & Peace’ that we had grown to know.” ?
[01:53.353] No.
[01:54.117] I’m tryna say open your eyes up.
[01:55.889] Accept that we done screwed up and it’s time for us to rise up.
[01:58.464] And wisen up, stop teaching kids to hug their feelings,
[02:01.184] Cause not everyone’s a winner, and that sometimes there’s a ceiling.
[02:04.021] But that ceiling can be broken by innovation and hard work.
[02:07.610] And sometimes that ceiling is just some odd jerk.
[02:10.226] Working under bullies and idiots that’s a part of life.
[02:12.753] But learning how to fight through those challenges makes you smart in life.
[02:15.906] Yeah
[02:16.668] Don’t preach entitled, teach them finance.
[02:18.238] We’re weakest when we’re idle, and our actions are what define us.
[02:21.034] And there’s truth within the Sciences,
[02:22.664] Not just on faith, but the mountains of research and studies that others paved
[02:26.790] But don’t deny your spirit, the unknown outweighs the known.
[02:29.398] And when we’re left with only thoughts our mind can find we’re not alone.
[02:32.212] And most importantly, think for yourself. I can’t be clearer.
[02:35.052] Using lyrics from my rap as a guide for life is drear.
[02:38.084] I ain’t qualified to give you advice. I ain’t a doctor.
[02:40.707] I’m just sittin here spittin out verses for ya’ll to rock to.
[02:43.665] Maybe some of what i’m sayin resonates within you
[02:46.425] Or maybe there’s a quote I wrote, you hate and just offends you
[02:49.579] That’s the only thing I need from you all, just to continue
[02:51.933] To keep on penning these last tracks that we’ve all been through.
[02:54.840] If I can take you there, or my words evoke emotion
[02:57.579] Or my subject matter causes dispute, that’s all I’m hoping.
[03:00.496] And ain’t much left to say, my breath is running thin.
[03:03.274] But if you made it through the most of this track, you made me grin.
[03:06.250] Maybe you’re a writer or artist or someone who creates
[03:08.865] What you bring into this world has a value beyond debate
[03:11.787] And I’ll say it again, this life is tough, but so are you.
[03:14.591] It’s complex and involved and you’ll fall more than you flew.
[03:17.342] But this life is yours to make it as great as you can, or not at all.
[03:20.495] Cause you’re the artist, and your life is the canvas upon the wall.
